We’ve spent 2/3s of our time talking about Moses....nine months of study has been devoted to the Moses store. The words at the end of Deut. show us how important Moses is:
10 Since then, no prophet has risen in Israel like Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face, 11 who did all those miraculous signs and wonders the LORD sent him to do in Egypt—to Pharaoh and to all his officials and to his whole land. 12 For no one has ever shown the mighty power or performed the awesome deeds that Moses did in the sight of all Israel.
Really, no one had a life like Moses. He had such divisions in his life...Infant spared by a miracle, child of privilege in the Egyptian court, disgraced murderer, desert nomad, talker to God at the burning bush, one who returned to Egypt, liberator, man who talked to God, deliverer of the law — servant of God.
Prophet
Priest
King
Sounds like someone else?
Hebrews 3:
Jesus Greater Than Moses
1Therefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess. 2He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in all God's house. 3Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself. 4For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything. 5Moses was faithful as a servant in all God's house, testifying to what would be said in the future. 6But Christ is faithful as a son over God's house. And we are his house, if we hold on to our courage and the hope of which we boast.So....happy New Year! I’m way late to celebrate Rosh Hashanah...but a new year is beginning for me...At least with Torah study.
